Netatalk 4.1.0 has been released, and is now for the first time also available as a Homebrew formula.

Get it with `brew install netatalk` today!

This version of the open source AFP server is the best yet for running on macOS. We now store resource forks natively as Extended Attributes, and is able to sync with FinderInfo metadata.

For instance, you can extract a StuffIt archive containing Classic Mac OS files, using the Unarchiver, onto a shared AFP volume, and have the resource forks carry over seamlessly.

Enjoy Mac file sharing!

The fact that the General Magic GMB001 battery is just a Sony NP-5x0 is what enables miracles like this:

TFW you disassemble a Sony Magic Link PIC-2000 to recap it and it suddenly starts working. #retrocomputing

Two of Lindsay's examples of 'evocative search' using CLIP - overcast, waves - gorgeous ways of accessing images via clustering #FF24 #FF2024 #AI4LAM

Now Peter's advocating for experiments with RAG - retrieval augmented generation - slightly more accurate chatGPT

Peter gives an example of the ability of a model to describe visual cues - it's worth reading his prompt for a description of Apple executives #FF24 #FF2024 #AI4LAM

We have a (re)Peter as Peter L gives Peter Broadwell et al's paper on 'Applying Advances in Person Detection and Action Recognition AI to Enhance Indexing and Discovery of Video Cultural Heritage Collections' - Machine Intelligence for Motion Exegesis (MIME) - a visual corollary to 'distant reading'. Could be used to track changes during the rehearsal process and more #FF2024 #FF24 #AI4LAM

Apple Lisa Technical Procedure Guide: “The yoke socket can only be fit one way onto the CRT neck.”

A while back I wrote some Python to print directly to ImageWriter II & LQ printers, both mono and color over serial. It also seems to work over AppleTalk which is awesome!

I printed this BYTE magazine cover using MacPalette II and my Python script for comparison.

MacPalette II is better at color but mine is better at smaller details, like the text at the top.

Gotcha. Last part of the Lisa I need to re-cap: the analog board. Only requires the removal of the entire CRT…
